Success Story: Thinkific

Watch what our customers say

“Life before Breadcrumbs was, I think you could call it the Dark Ages. We started with an SLA of two days to a week sometimes. And we’re getting within the 10 to 5-minute mark. So that’s so exciting for us.”

HubSpot offers an ecosystem designed for agencies and service providers aiming to expand their offerings and build expertise in HubSpot. This program is tailored for those who want to create growth solutions for their clients, leveraging HubSpot’s marketing, sales, web design, and more capabilities. Partners in the program can access an exclusive catalog of training to develop specific roles within their organization, including their sales and marketing efforts, service, and implementation.

Choosing a HubSpot partner for your company can offer a multitude of benefits that can significantly enhance your marketing, sales, and service efforts with potential customers. Here are several compelling reasons to consider working with a HubSpot partner:

  1. Expert guidance: HubSpot partners have specialized knowledge and experience in inbound marketing strategies and the HubSpot platform. This expertise can help your marketing and sales teams maximize the use of HubSpot’s tools and features, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
  2. Tailored strategies for growth: A HubSpot partner can develop customized strategies tailored to your business’s unique needs, helping you achieve lasting, sustainable, and measurable growth. Their experience across various industries allows them to apply best practices effectively.
  3. Comprehensive Training and Development: HubSpot partners have access to an exclusive catalog of training materials. They can educate and develop specific roles within your organization, including sales reps, service, and implementation, thereby enhancing your team’s capabilities.
  4. Access to Real-Time Updates and Innovations: Working with a HubSpot partner means you have access to the latest updates and innovations from HubSpot, often before they become widely available. This can give your company a competitive edge by leveraging new tools and features ahead of the curve.
  5. All-in-One Solutions: HubSpot partners can help your company efficiently utilize HubSpot’s all-in-one platform, which integrates marketing, sales, content management, and customer service. This holistic approach can streamline your operations and improve customer experiences.
  6. Results-Oriented Approach: HubSpot agency partners are known for their focus on delivering results. They aim to provide peace of mind by offering reputable, results-oriented marketing solutions, ensuring your business achieves its goals effectively.
  7. Enhanced Onboarding and Support: HubSpot partners can offer more flexible onboarding experiences and exceptional customer support, ensuring your teams are well-equipped to use the HubSpot platform to its full potential. Their hands-on assistance can significantly reduce the learning curve and operational hiccups.

HubSpot is a comprehensive CRM platform that combines marketing, sales, content management, and customer service into one unified system, ensuring a streamlined experience for both teams and customers alike.

With its robust inbound marketing tools, HubSpot aids in attracting visitors, converting leads, and delighting customers across various channels. Sales reps benefit from features like tracking for marketing emails and pipeline management to close deals faster, while customer service tools ensure top-notch support.

The platform also offers extensive educational resources and support, helping users maximize their potential and making it a powerful tool for business growth.

Yes, HubSpot does offer lead scoring capabilities. Lead scoring in HubSpot allows you to assign values to leads based on their engagement with your website, emails, and other marketing materials. This system helps sales and marketing teams prioritize leads that are more likely to convert, ensuring sales efforts are focused on the most promising prospects.

However, HubSpot offers a single score, and while you can still remove points (aka negative score), a numerical score only gives you partial information about your qualified leads.

Lead scoring systems can vary based on flexibility, complexity, and integration capabilities. While some companies still rely on manual lead scoring, a predictive lead scoring model offers a more data-driven and efficient approach.

Breadcrumbs, an alternative to HubSpot lead scoring, offers a predictive lead scoring model that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to qualify and score leads based on your ICP and how they interact with your brand.

Breadcrumbs provides a more nuanced approach to predictive lead scoring, too, taking into account a wider range of behaviors and interactions across different platforms and touchpoints to create multiple predictive lead scoring scores for your own sales team and reps.

Additionally, Breadcrumbs allows you to create multiple lead scores and models for different personas or segments. This means you can tailor your lead scoring system for different types of potential customers and develop models for current prospects or customers to surface upsell and cross-sell opportunities or mitigate churn risk.

Very smoothly. Breadcrumbs integrates seamlessly with HubSpot: you can create a lead scoring model in Breadcrumbs with HubSpot data (and others), and the Breadcrumbs score will automatically update in HubSpot based on the behavior and interactions it tracks across different channels and touchpoints.

This provides sales reps with a complete picture of the engagement of each sales-qualified lead with your brand, helping your sales team prioritize their efforts more effectively on sales-qualified leads.
